		The most number of moons that the 9-planet orrery should show would be all moons larger than the largest minor planet, the asteroid Ceres, as a proper inclusion of Ceres would require its own gearing.

	Human Orrery
		An orrery is a mechanical device designed to illustrate the motions of the planets in their orbits about the Sun.
		Although the Human Orrery is primarily a tool to explain astronomy, the questions of distance-scales, time-scales, and the dynamics and spatial interrelationships of solar system bodies lead naturally to issues such as the calendar, seasons, the equation of time, and precession of the equinoxes.
		It is planned that the Human Orrery will be constructed during 2004 towards the end of the main work associated with the HLF Telescopes and Telescope Domes restoration project.
